Okay then. Maybe just cut it down to everything prior the semi colon?

"Hi Baden, I slightly messed up the title to my Pigliucci OP. The Part after the Semi Colon should read "How does Stoicism bring Balance to and justif...

Of course, naturally. I fully intend to use my better judgement and best foot forward on this and do my best for our community. I won't embarrass you ...
November 29, 2019 at 02:34
I was thinking more along the lines of quoting You or wallows for example within just my discussion or potentially reference Massimo from his other di...
November 29, 2019 at 01:54
As many here have been quick to point out, positive flavours and fundamental aspects of anarchism are all in line with The Spirit of the law and justi...
November 28, 2019 at 18:33
Then why are you writing anything at all? Do we need to explain to you mathematically that even an illusion of a reality is still part of a sum realit...
November 28, 2019 at 16:31
This is all very well said! You're right, the man made version of climate change we are facing now was made a reality due to the same old injustices m...
November 28, 2019 at 15:56
Agreed. A resource conservative maintenance heavy humble existence is going to be a necessity for most if not all. New technology with new renewable l...
November 28, 2019 at 14:33
Yeah I get what you mean. At some point it isn't even "edgey" to be a climate change denier if it ever was and people are definitely waking up to that...
November 28, 2019 at 13:44
Careful; while I do see the pragmatic placement of the populations of earth argument you are trying to build and agree with the need for the effort, t...
November 28, 2019 at 07:24
Ahhh to have the simple life. If only humans weren't such complicated creatures. You have me convinced about what needs to happen. So how do we struct...
November 28, 2019 at 07:05
A good segue here into whether or not true knowledge is possible and very well put. This is why when it comes to epistemology I always only make a cla...
November 28, 2019 at 05:18
Ahhh I see what you mean now. Yeah sorry, I misunderstood. Human remote operating is a thing although you do need to account for stability of connecti...
November 28, 2019 at 05:08
Probably for sure. I can foresee a lot of insecurity and despair over whether or not any of it will even work and for some, they may never get to see ...
November 28, 2019 at 02:47
An excellent point to raise! Maybe I should review how I am using consequence free here; Real consequence free. That isnt the same as completely conse...
November 28, 2019 at 02:20
Yeah it should be I absolutely agree with you. Only if people collectively act now though. If not we are going to have to figure out how to reduce wha...
November 28, 2019 at 02:06
That's all fair enough! I'll compile all the free learning resources I know for you. In the meantime @"Pantagruel" has an amazing Reading list he can ...
November 28, 2019 at 01:59
Just a suggestion; if you don't disagree with anything, ask yourself why you agree and share that. You might have something new to say on the matter w...
November 28, 2019 at 01:27
I think it is beyond kur ability to halt what is coming. That doesn't mean it is beyond our ability to survive it. The only question we need to ask ou...

Learning should always be fun ;) #nerd4lyfe
November 28, 2019 at 01:13
Again yes we do. Planes will always need pilots and will probably need contingencies too in case they fail. As I said before the programmers are all h...
November 28, 2019 at 01:10
Agreed, at least a tad more than we should carefully scrutinise anything else. That's not to say however that civil disobedience can't be performed re...
November 28, 2019 at 01:04
This is a forum where I feel that technically even when not responding directly we are always asking these questions of the audience too. So your resp...
November 28, 2019 at 00:46
Yet some are helping? What does my entire job mean if its not an act to help? Arguments like mine are the ones which allow you to spew your nonsense. ...
November 28, 2019 at 00:37
We are all still alive so doesn't seem like we have failed to me? We have been doing a good job of reducing suffering relatively speaking and are work...
November 27, 2019 at 23:43
Lets say it is self serving, which I agree with but only in that it is serving the external self (the universe). Why would you care if you don't belie...
November 27, 2019 at 23:24
A good point to raise. Personally I don't know. I know I try to be consistent in my moral claims but I am just as fallible as the next person. For you...
November 27, 2019 at 23:10
Except I have not got a PHD so again your entire argument is based on a false premise and I've stopped reading now. Think I've figured out why people ...
November 27, 2019 at 21:21
Yes, I accidentally fell on the keyboard multiple times in a way that produced a identfieably correct human syntax. And I'm the one losing grip on rea...
November 27, 2019 at 21:19
Evidently you know nothing about adaptive pragmatism or it's approach to ethics. Nothing is true and that everything is permitted but not everything i...
November 27, 2019 at 21:17
Oh I responded so ive somehow proved your point that everyone ignores you? I can see that I'm wasting my time arguing with you when your logic seems t...
November 27, 2019 at 21:09
Except consensus does exist? Easy to claim it doesn't exist when one is outside of it. Morality is the individualistic study. Tired of saying it, but ...
November 27, 2019 at 21:08
I do try to treat them as standalone concepts however I am prone to making the same mistake as everyone used to abide by some version of a percieved l...
November 27, 2019 at 21:04
Does that include those whose happiness is born of other peoples suffering or impeding their pursuit of happiness with consequencial unjustified murde...
November 27, 2019 at 20:17
You know full well which questions I'd like you to address unless you have disrespected me further by not having the sense to read my previous message...
November 27, 2019 at 20:11
I am making claims about the definition of the fields of study if you want it even more simply than I have laid out; you are practicing morality as a ...
November 27, 2019 at 20:03
You have disrespected me by not responding to me many times. I have spent a lot of time in responses to you which have yet been unanswered whereas all...
November 27, 2019 at 19:55
have you not been paying attention to anything anyone on this thread has been sharing or do you just pretend not to see all the links? I asked you the...
November 27, 2019 at 19:11
Most of your responses are just outright untrue and lacking in any evidence and completely contrary to what is really going on in this country. Where ...
November 27, 2019 at 18:50
Except it isn't far removed; just expanded upon. Morality is the study of individual value preferences and ethics is the study of external rule system...
November 27, 2019 at 18:44
cowardice is not a virtue I think. Answer the question about obstruction; If Trump has done nothing wrong why the obstruction? Also answer why in your...
November 27, 2019 at 17:46
This is why an honest and successful endeavor in internet philosophy is to have the balls to use key search phrases like "Argument against belief X wh...
November 27, 2019 at 16:26
This would be true; if the code to work all this new technology wasn't also built and written by a perfectly fallible human. Neither technology or man...
November 27, 2019 at 16:14
Personally I have always found your contributions and responses refreshing and often find myself wishing you'd reply more. I'm glad some people make a...
November 27, 2019 at 16:04
Oxford definition is okay if you're speaking to Lay people. You should get a hold of the oxford or Cambridge philosophy dictionaries if you can. Eithe...
November 27, 2019 at 14:03
Thank you for the suggestion I'll check that out! My own explanation is to go down the psychology and neuroscience route too.
November 27, 2019 at 13:51
While this is one of the reasons people ignore others; it isnt the only reason someone can find themselves ignored. I often find that my rebuttals dra...
November 27, 2019 at 04:21
No you shouldnt have thought that because that would be wrong. There is a difference which I have already described. Ethics and morals are not synonom...
November 27, 2019 at 04:15
Yeah the fundamental principal of value theory is pretty much a consensus within moral and ethical thought as are the differences between the two whic...
November 27, 2019 at 04:08
No that's a common misconception. Good is an appraisal of value. So methaethically we have to define good or define our values as it were. Morality an...
